2GPS WORKING PRINCIPLE
GPS (Global Positioning System) system, on which your GET system is based, uses a spherical positioning
algorithm in order to identify the position of receiver the signal coming from satellites.
Measuring the time needed by a radio signal to cover the distance satellite-receiver and knowing the precise
position of at least 4 satellites, it is possible to identify the 3D position of the receiver.
24 GPS satellites, arranged in orbits inclined at 55 degrees to the equator, are between 18000 and 20000
km from the Earth and they rotate completely in 12 hours.
Satellites transmit signals of 1.2 and 1.5 GHz (to avoid errors coming from atmosphere refraction) originated
by a single oscillator (atomic clock). Transmitted data contain information on satellite’s orbit and time signal
(messages of Ephemeris) that permit to the receiver to define position on earth surface.
3SUGGESTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION
We recommend to read carefully following chapters in order to get the best during the installation of M40 in
your vehicle.
WARNING: A WRONG INSTALLATION COULD CAUSE SERIOUS TROUBLES TO
PEOPLE AND/OR THINGS
3.1 Precautions for M40 installation
Before proceeding with installation of M40 onto a vehicle please observe the following rules:
•Work in a user friendly environment (example: enough working space)
•Disconnect battery wirings
•Put all removed vehicle parts in a safe place avoiding to damage them
•Installation in vehicle with internal combustion engine has to be done with the engine cold: during the
installation you could be in contact with engine or chassis parts
•During the job be really careful to connectors and wirings
•Keep washers, bolts and nuts in a safe place during M40 installation
•During installation avoid that any part installed interfere with driving parts or with the driver
3.2 GPS antenna installation
In order to install properly the GPS antenna please refer to the following instructions:
•be really careful during GPS antenna movement: Avoid shocks and verify that connector and cable are in
a perfect shape
Time lapping is done via GPS: this solution avoid uncomfortable beacons side the track
and help to have timing references during data analysis.
GPS is a stochastic algorithm and it is strictly linked to the correct signal receiving. In
case of electromagnetic or ambient interferences the quality of data is not guaranteed.
The minimum received number of satellites in order to guarantee a proper quality in
time lapping is 5.

ENGLISH
•fix the antenna outside the vehicle: obstacles near to the antenna could cause a reduction to the receiving
capabilities of the sensor. A wrong position could cause an incorrect lap timing, wrong data acquisition
and wrong trajectories
•do not twist the antenna cable around other cables (especially around high voltage plugs wiring): this
could cause inductive interferences and cause problems during the functioning
•let pass the antenna cable as far as possible from spark plugs and other electromagnetic field. In
motorbikes it is preferable to run the cable out of the chassis but in any case in a protected zone
•fix the GPS connector to the ANTENNA input in MD40 without use excessive torque: do not use tools
Some suggestions to fix the antenna:
Speed bikes: fix the antenna in the far back part of the motorbike away from heat sources (exhaust) or in
cockpit area (on top of it).
Off-road bike: fix the antenna on handlebar handle pad.
Car: fix the antenna on top of the roof.
Kart: fix the antenna on the higher part of front number plate, if needed manufacture a support to address
the sensor in the proper direction.
3.3 M40 system installation
M40 data loggers are done in order to be fixed easily inside all vehicles.
For electrical connections please read Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 of this manual.
With dedicated cables it is possible to connect directly to ECU by Athena Evolution (example GP1EVO) via
CAN bus.
The following figure shows in principles a typical installation of a M40 into a motorbike.

5M40 WIRING LOOMS
M40 dataloggers could be linked to the vehicle (or sensors) with specific cables.
With “multilink” cable it is possible, for example, connect M40 directly to ECU GP1 EVO (see following
picture):
In this situation it is possible to give power to m40 directly from ECU and to log all CAN channels coming
from ECU.
All data like rpm, throttle position, injection time, advance time, etc will be available through only one cable.
Interconnection cables are available for EXP, EXP1, EXP2 connectors to connect M40 to analogue sensors
or frequency sensors with 3 wirings Binder connector.
If you need further information on M40 wirings please refer to Appendix 3,

6FIRMWARE, CONFIGURATION, SETUP FOR M40 DATALOGGER
M40 is based on three internal software:
•Firmware: this is necessary to guarantee the instrument functioning,
•Configuration: this is necessary for base setup of the instrument like serial number and identify number.
•Setup: this is needed by M40 in order to get all information about sensors, calibrations, logging
frequencies, etc.
You can adjust M40 setup with CONFIG DATALOGGER software (if you are using DATA MANAGER
software) or Setup Manager (it’d included into the software suite GATE).
Some channels cannot be modified by the user in order to avoid malfunctioning

7USING M40 DATALOGGER
Following chapters are written to explain simple rules for the use of the instrument and information given by
LEDs.
7.1 Importance of data logging
Logging data during test sessions or test bench is becoming more and more important because:
•You can reduce setup time on the vehicle
•You can solve driving mistakes
•You can evaluate vehicle behaviour statically and dynamically
•You can visualize all logged parameters
•You can check continuously engine and chassis performances
•You can see lap times once downloaded
7.2 Getting started
Please read carefully following chapters for an optimal use of M40.
7.2.1 GPS fixing
You need to “fix” satellites in order to get trajectories and lap times with MX2 software.
The minimum number of satellites to get a correct acquisition is 5.
In fixed application (test bench) you do not need GPS.
NOTE: M40 continue to search satellites during logging. This permit to start the acquisition also
without GPS data. In this case it will be probable that trajectories visualization (done via software)
could be compromise.
The evidence of this phenomena are fast variations on the position of vehicle (spike), up to some
kilometres!!!!
7.3 Data logging
Start and stop of data logging could take place with the following modes:
•Manual: starting the acquisition via software
•Automatic: - from vehicle speed (Speed) both with GPS or with wheel speed (only with installed sensor)
-From engine speed (RPM)
-defining a special threshold value from any given input/channel of M40
In standard configuration start/stop are MANUAL.
In this condition it is necessary to connect a pc with DATA MANAGER in order to record data.
For further information on data logging start/stop see chapter 8.7 and 8.9.3.
To modify logging start/stop mode use Config Datalogger.

7.4 Internal accelerometers
M40 has got three accelerometers as described in the picture:
Values are logged automatically by M40 and therefore can be used with MX2.
Internal accelerometers are System Channels, in M40 setup.
Logical names are:
•ACCX
•ACCY
•ACCZ
You can see these names in Setup Manager and in Channel Bar of MX2.
You can zero of these sensors with WATCH function in Setup Manager (read Appendix 1 –cap. 5 of this
manual).

Open Browser Bar and search the needed session in the tree on the left.
•Select the session in the column File name
•Apply the track (or create a new one) to the selected session with the track selection window. This is
needed to obtain laps’ division (if needed):
NOTE: usually logged data contains information about the track used during the session.
Sometimes could happen that this information is missing due to, for example, lack of
synchronization of track library with the device. Until you do not associate a track to the session,
you will see only lap 0. Once linked the session to the track you will see laps division: this
division will be available in all accesses to the same session.
Lap times are linked to start-finish line: if you have official lap times and you need to compare
directly to logged data it is needed to select a track with a start-finish line as close as possible to
the real one.
LAPS DIVISION IS UNAVAILABLE WITHOUT GPS INFORMATIONS (IF THE LAP TRIGGER
PROPERTY IS SET AS GPS).
•If the track is not in the library, or there are more tracks (usually with different start-finish line), for the
needed session the window for the selection of the map could appear: you need to select the track
between proposed or you need to create a new one with Create New –for the procedure refer to chapter

8.5 Track creation from a recorded session
The creation of new track it is possible by logging data as described in chapter 7.3.
After the download of the session (read chapter 8.2) proceed as follows:
•Open MX2 and create a new project (read chapter 8.3).
•Select the session: software will shows this window.
•Push Create New button: a new track will be created with the name new_track in Available Tracks list.
This track will be without start-finish line, split points and sectors.
•Define a new start-finish line: click on Finish Line in the left menu
•Define the line on the track (FL) by clicking on the track picture and drag the mouse (keeping left button
pressed), and realize the line with needed dimensions.
Release mouse button: the start-finish line will be set.
The start-finish line must cross the map, otherwise laps won’t be calculated.
It is advised to create a perpendicular line to the trajectory with a proper length, not too long (avoiding
crossing other parts of the track) not too short (otherwise you could not calculate some laps).
•If you need to modify a start-finish line, click on the FL and modify it.
